A few days after arriving at Alnus Base with the refugees

It has been two days since Third Recon's encounter with the golden dragon. The refugees from Coda village were allowed to stay in the base and Third Recon team was given the responsibility of maintaining their needs and Itami was given the duty to supervise the entire camp. Itami Youji has been on high alert after learning the existence of one of Toho's five most popular kaiju from the Godzilla movies. If Ghidorah was here, there is a high possibility that other Godzilla kaiju could also exist, especially Godzilla himself. He will bring the destruction of the entirety of Japan if he were to cross the massive Gate.

As of right now, they reported their encounter with the three-headed dragon to their superiors. The whole meeting about the massive golden dragon could be described as a lot of speculation, yelling, and a lot of planning if it was to attack the Japanese.

"What is the meaning of this!?" their General yelled out after hearing their report. "You're telling me that a dragon that looks like King Ghidorah from the Godzilla movies was here, it killed a dragon and ate it!?" he yelled out to Itami.

"Believe me, General, it's true that we encountered it as we were returning from our reconnaissance of the landscape while we were escorting the villagers back to the base. We have video evidence of the whole encounter with it if you still doubt it."Itami said as he handed over a video recording inside a USB flash drive.

The flash drive was inserted into the computer and was projected using the projector for everyone to watch. The video started out with them driving through a flat road with cliffs on both sides. A roar was heard and the camera focused on a large red dragon with massive wings. The video became more erratic when the dragon breathed fire across the field and the Recon team dodging it. The team began firing at the dragon with their guns, causing with little to no damage at it, even with 50 calibre machine guns. Itami's voice suddenly ordered the team to focus fire on the dragon's eyes. They began firing on its eyes, disorienting it and breathing its fire more wildly. An RPG rocket was seen being launched and the dragon was going to avoid it when a girl wearing gothic clothes struck the giant flying lizard with her massive purple battle axe, making the dragon stumble back. The rocket exploded on the dragon's right arm, severing it as it falls to the ground. The team rejoiced as it began to flee. Suddenly, it was struck by several bolts of golden lightning and the video then shifts to the dragon described by the Third Recon team. The red dragon fell down to the ground as it died and the golden dragon began eating it. The video ends after that.

The high ranking officers in the office and the general are astonished and in shock to see a dragon that looks exactly like Ghidorah from Toho's monster movies. The General knew that they can't fabricate this footage because they were out in the middle of an operation and none of the members of the team was lying about the event as none of their words had a hint of suspicion in them.

"Hmm, we are gonna have to increase the firepower of each reconnaissance team if they encountered another one of these things." the General said after seeing the video recording.

"General, you can't be serious!" a high ranking officer said.

"I'm serious about this!" he yelled out to his officer. "Imagine if another recon team encountered one of those dragons or something much worse, there would be many casualties and how would we explain the deaths to their families?" he said to his officer.

The officer stood silent after the general responded and decided not to answer his question. The General then issued additional combat vehicles to be added in each of the Recon teams for extra precautions. Each of the Recon teams used to have at least three Komatsu LAVs (Light Armored Vehicle), two vehicles are now added by the general in each team.

The two vehicles added to each team are two Type-10 Japanese main-battle tanks with a 120 mm smoothbore cannon with secondary armaments consisting of an MH2B 12.7 mm and Type 74 7.62 mm machine guns. Since they only have an operational range of 480 km, the LAVs are to carry additional fuel canisters in case the tanks ran out of fuel.


Lelei POV

Lelei La Lelena is a naturally curious blue haired girl training to be a mage under an elderly sage named Kato. She witnessed the power of the golden three-headed dragon, who destroyed the Empire's capital city and its vassal states, killed the Flame Dragon with ease when other dragons could not oppose its power despite it being recently injured by the Men in Green. Ever since arriving at Alnus hill, she was amazed by the technology of the Men in Green on how they shaped the earth with massive machines and how they constructed houses faster than the best architects in the Empire. The refugees from Coda village were grateful for the generosity and were wondering how they could repay them. Many thought they couldn't repay them because they had nothing and would have to whore themselves to the Men in Green.

Lelei suggested that they collect the wyvern scales from the dead corpses of wyverns that were lying dead outside on the fields outside of Alnus hill. She said that they are valuable and would fetch a high price if it was sold to the right buyer. When she asked if she could gather the scales from the dead wyverns, she was surprised when they said she could gather them as they have no use for it and were planning to bury them afterwards.

Accompanied by the elf named Tuka Luna Marceau and Rory Mercury the apostle, they collected the purple scales leaving no corpse left untouched.

After collecting all the scales from the corpses, Lelei said the best place to sell the wyvern scales was Italica city as it was the Empire's centre of trade and one of the few cities that survived the three-headed dragon's rampage across the Empire.

Third Recon team was ordered to accompany them for the journey because they are the only team who had become more closely related to the locals and could communicate with them more peacefully.

And with things settles, the Third Recon team alongside Lelei, Tuka, and Rory made their trip to Italica.


Italica City

Pina is currently having a crisis in the city of Italica. The city is under siege by the remnants of the expeditionary force sent to the Gate. The former empire soldiers have now formed a bandit army and were now attacking the city for its gold and wealth due to its status as the Empire's main trading city. She had reassured the militia, formed by the civilians, that she had sent a message to her order of knights, The Rose order of Knights, but they will have to fend off the bandits for three days for reinforcements to arrive. Currently, she is resting at the Countess Formal Myuii's mansion. The Countess was just a girl who is around the age of 11 years old.

The next day, the princess is suddenly awakened by a splash of cold water.

"Ah! W-What's going on!?" She said after being suddenly awakened in her sleep. "Are we under attack!?"

"No, your majesty, there are some strange people outside of the city gates" the old maid explained to her.

She got dressed and met up with another knight, Hamilton, at the city gates and both of them were looking through the city gate with the peephole.

"What are those things, your majesty?" Hamilton asked.

"I don't know but they looked like horseless metal carriages and right next to them are Iron elephants, Hamilton" Pina answered the knight.

She then sees someone the door of the carriage open and sees a man in green clothing come out and following him was a blue haired girl holding a staff, an elf, and, to her surprise, Rory Mercury, an apostle. If they were the rumoured men in green that she heard about, it was no surprise that they would befriend the Apostle of Emroy.

As they approach the city gate, Pina opens the gate to greet them.

"Welco-"She suddenly stops to see a man on the ground, clutching his forehead in pain.

She realized she opened the gate as he was about to knock.

"Did I do that?" the princess asked.

Everyone just nodded. Pina quickly apologizes to them.


Timeskip (A few hours later)

Third Recon team offered their help in defending the city and the princess was grateful for their help as she knows of the power of the men in green when fighting opponents. The princess had them stationed at the western gate as she believed that the bandits will attack the least defended side of the city walls.

Right now, the Third recon team is standing on the western city walls waiting for the bandits to arrive. They see a large amount of light on the northern city walls, suggesting that the bandit army are there. The bandits are not easy to trick as they were former empire soldiers.

The team quickly boarded the LAVs and tanks, immediately driving to the northern city walls. Tanks outside the city walls quickly drove towards the northern walls. When it reached its destination, it fired its machine gun turrets at any bandits that came too close to the tanks and its main cannon at large groups of bandits.

The Third recon team reached its destination while firing its roof turret at any bandits that came too close to them. Itami had already requested air support and was set to arrive as soon as possible. As they arrived at their destination, Itami ordered to affix bayonets and Kuribayashi instantly charged into battle as she attached her bayonet to her rifle. The other team members soon followed along side Rory who is killing bandits left and right with ease using her massive battle axe.

The battle for the city raged on for a few short hours when the ground starts shaking and everyone stopped as they felt something was approaching and suddenly, the ground erupted from the outskirts of the city as it reveals a large monster with a spiked armoured shell. After shaing off the dirt covering its body, it roared and begins attacking the bandit army outside the city. Once again, the Japanese are shocked to see another Godzilla Kaiju. This time it was Anguirus, Godzilla's companion, the most tenacious Kaiju among all others and the one who never backs down from a fight. He bears his Showa era design. Footage for evidence of this encounter is now being recorded.


Anguirus POV

Anguirus has been travelling underground for quite some time as it allows him to travel faster undisturbed and he feels more comfortable sleeping underground as the underground provided silence, allowing him to sleep peacefully. He felt a large pressure from the surface as he was sleeping. The large pressure disturbed his sleep and he quickly surfaces to confront what was causing the large pressure.

When he reached the surface, he sees a large human army attacking a human city, the human army being massacred by two animals he had never seen before. They were green, no legs, and were launching small projectiles at the humans with their trunks. The two strange animals began moving backwards and started firing their projectiles towards him. The projectiles didn't hurt him thanks to his thick hide and his armoured spike carapace being durable to take on almost any attack. He shakes off the dirt covering his body and charges onto the human army with a roar.

"RAAAAAAAAAHHHHH" Anguirus roared as he charged towards the human army.

He began attacking the small human army, stomping the small humans and began eating them as he rampaged across the large field as he grew hungry after being awakend from his sleep. The small humans begin to flee from him to avoid being eaten and others were shot at from the humans on the city walls as they run away from him.

After a short while, he hears strange sounds from the sky. He sees five strange looking birds in the sky. Their "wings" are rotating on top of their heads, they had long thin bodies with a small "tail" rotating behind them. They seem to be carrying something circular with six holes on it. The stranges thing about these birds are the humans riding inside them. Angurius wonders that the birds may be consteucted by the humans and were being controlled from the inside.

The strange birds began attacking him with small and explosive projectiles as they are circling him. Anguirus, annoyed by the constant barrage of projectiles, let out his supersonic roar towards the birds.

"RAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH" Anguirus roared towards the strange birds.

The birds were disoriented and begin to spirally crash into the ground. The humans immediately jumped off the birds before they fall to their deaths. The humans are slowly falling to the ground with some sort of white cloth over their heads.

Afterwards, he continued his rampage towards the human army, stomping and devouring them until there was no more. The two green elephants continue their barrage of projectiles towards him doing little to no damage. Anguirus then burrows underground and tunnels his way towards the large structure and to meet up with his old friend, ignoring the human city as the human army was enough to quell his hunger and attacking the city would be a waste of time as he is in a rush to meet up with his friend.

The Battle of Italica city was over with the city defenders gaining an unearned victory as Anguirus consumed all of the bandits.


Aftermath (2 days later)

The people of Italica are tense and paranoid after the large monster had devoured most of the bandit army. Reconstruction and repairs to the city had begun immediately after the battle was over. For now, everyone is at ease, knowing that danger will not come for them today. Except for Princess Pina, who is currently having a crisis on what is going to happen afterwards and what to do next.

She knew the Men in Green were powerful, seeing how they were able to take down multiple soldiers with ease with their weapons and how their Iron elephants slaughtered the army and their Iron pegasi were able to kill some bandits with no effort. But when the armoured monster appeared, she saw horrified faces of the green soldiers as if they have seen the monster before.

Their Iron Elephants and Iron Pegasi began attacking it with the metallic flying creatures circling it, firing large amounts of metallic shrapnel towards it. The monster was unaffected by it and roared towards the flying creatures, causing them to crash into the ground and their riders bailing out of their mounts as they slowly fall to the ground with a large piece of cloth over their heads that slowed their descent.

She knows the Men in Green are powerful but she knew they have fears, evident by their horrified faces when the monster bursted out of the ground. Right now, they are treating their wounded comrades and were planning to return to Alnus hill. She was informed earlier that they were the ones who crossed the Gate and they would not capitulate the city, much to her relief.

The young mage girl, Lelei, informed the Princess that Itami Youji was recalled back to their country and report to their senate. The Princess' heart immediately sank after hearing it. One word from Itami could instantly start a one-sided war for the Empire. The Empire at its current state can't fight back as the army is still being reformed and if more soldiers from the Gate were to cross the Empire would not survive as the golden dragon reduced the Empire's cities into nothing but rubble.

She went to Itami and desperately pleaded him to let her join his trip back to Alnus hill. She would act as mediator for the Empire to negotiate with their senate. Itami agreed and she joined the trip back to Alnus hill. Pina hoped that negotiations would go smoothly and end the conflict between the Men in Green and the Empire.

That is chapter four of this story! Anguirus made his presence known to the Japanese and the Empire as he devoured the bandit army attacking Italica. Next chapter would be the Japanese diet concerning the Flame dragon attack and uninvited guests will appear in the diet. You may have already guessed on who will it be.

I would like to ask what kaiju should you think will cross the Gate first and possibly wreak havoc on Tokyo as the Ginza district is located in the city of Tokyo which is the city that always gets destroyed in the Godzilla films.

Seriously, why is it always Tokyo!? Do the Kaiju in the movies have some sort of grudge towards the city!?

Anyways, please leave a review and criticisms are appreciated as it helps me write better.

See you next chapter.
